The second half of my NARS x Erdem Strange Flowers Collection review centres around the face. Having produced some of the beauty world’s most iconic blushes (Orgasm, Sin, Deep Throat), I was curious to see how the two shades here would stack up — I won’t spoil it, so I guess you’ll just have to read on to learn — but the piece I was most excited about was the highlighting pencil. Again, no spoilers although even saying that I’m probably giving it away, am I right?

In 2013 when CHANEL launched Les Beiges, to say that the concept turned out to be iconic wouldn’t be an overstatement, and since then the brand has continued to add something to the range every year. For 2018, Les Beiges has grown to include new items along with varying tonal intensities — because there really is more than one way to go nude, nest-ce pas?

From the brand that knows a thing or two (more like a bajillion) about beauty palettes, comes Urban Decay’s latest release: Backtalk, an entire rose-mauve theme for both eyes and face … in one convenient package. Inspired by the Vice Lipstick by the same name, this palette is exactly what anyone with a blush-coloured addiction (like me) has been looking for, not to mention a nice departure from the usual nudes.

CHANEL’s Rouge Coco family is growing; Lucia Pica has created 12 new shades for the various Rouge Coco ranges, and the brand has just launched Rouge Coco Lip Blush — a 2-in-1 product that comes in 6 shades and which can be used on both lips and cheeks. Gotta love a multi-tasker …

When NARS introduced the Wanted Eyeshadow Palette last year (reviewed), the beauty world could not get enough, and we can now add blushes to that family — introducing Wanted I & II Cheek Palettes, filled with six pigment-rich shades (5 of which are new and limited edition in each palette). From the brand that created iconic hues such as Orgasm, Sin, and Deep Throat, something tells me that these palettes would have been better named “You’ll WANT them” instead. Yup … they’re THAT good.
